Need help please read ... (Long)
I went to an audi dealer to change my clutch after 60000 miles the new clutch they installed was slipping again so i went back to check it again. They also changed the flywheel and they said that they found a damaged hose at the turbo's waste gate that "regulates the air pressure" that they also changed. Now except from the fact that my car is still slipping i found out that my turbo will never give more pressure than 0.8 - 0.9 bar where before was giving a full 1.1 - 1.2 bar. What did they change? I don't know where to begin searching.
I am afraid that they messed with my program,
can the turbo pressure be adjusted in another way mechanically?
And by the way my clutch is still slipping so i will have to change it with a sachs performance clutch.
Any advice would be very helpful

Yeah it's called the wastgate actuator hose...
or whatever, when that hose goes bad(such as with a leak) the wastegate doesn't get the signal to crack open and what you get is more boost. Since your not getting as much boost as before it seems like they wern't lying and the old hose was bad. Everyone with a turbocharged car should read Maximum Boost by Corkey Bell. After that read you know what's going on under the hood.

definetly not normal to have the clutch slip so soon...
I would check for boost leaks. Check for lines to the turbo, wastegate, intake manifold, bpv and to the n75 valve.
Changing those vaccum lines is no big deal. Very easy to do.
I would seriously doubt the audi dealer messed with your wastegate rod.
Start with the lines first. Does the clutch still slip now? Did you break it in correctly?
